years ago, I discovered the A to Z Blogging Challenge by accident. I
completed the challenge in 2011, even wrote a book based on the posts. I
co-hosted it in 2012, and am back again co-hosting in 2013. This
challenge has helped my blogs grow, and I know it will do the same for all of you who sign up below!

Hi

Can't find it in the list.
Thanks
I'm excited to sign up again this year! Thank you all for doing this again 🙂
This is something exciting that I'm looking forward to do. Hope I get the time during my busy schedule.
This looks pretty interesting. I wish I can write this much. 🙂
Saru, of course you can!
I'm all signed up! I know this will be a busy time for you.
Welcome on board, Joy :)!
Thanks so much for hosting this blogfest! We signed up today at #337. This looks like it's going to be HUGE! Congratulations! Please visit our new blog at http://citymusecountrymuse2012.blogspot.com/
Will stop by your blog rightaway 🙂
Great intro, and oh so fun to work together to solve a problem, even though we really couldn't be much further apart on the globe…
I can't believe how many we have already! It's going to be, in the words of Jake, EPIC. Can't believe I just spoke teenager…

Co-host, April 2013 A-Z Challenge
@TinaLifeisGood, #atozchallenge
🙂 Epic is the word for it! :)and Tina…you're a delight to work with — hope things are better at home.
Thanks for co-hosting this mega blog hop. So looking forward to it!
Hmm, don't know about this year. Have to finish "Bayou Princess." However, those categories tempt.
Take a plunge 🙂
Should be a lot of fun…and just look at all the new blogs we get to check out!
Absolutely. Am so excited!
Awesome! I have one blog signed up and ready to go, I might sign up one of my others. I did two blogs last year and it was great!

The Other Side
Welcome on board the challenge 🙂
Thanks for hosting. I missed last year as we were traveling around the world. I am hoping I have an interesting and funny travel story for each letter of the alphabet.
Rhonda at Laugh Quotes

I remember laughing at some of your hilarious posts 🙂 So glad you can join this year. Do help us spread the word.
Is okay if I have not decided which category I want to join? I am new to blogging and am still trying to decide on my blogging category.
As I said in the post, categories are optional. We only included them due to popular demand last year. If you notice, most co-hosts don't have a category.
Hi there! Thanks for co-hosting. This will be Year 3 for me. Please visit: http://armchairsquid.blogspot.com.
Hi, will pop by for a visit, stat. Welcome on board the #atozchallenge !
And we already have many sign-ups!
Can't believe we have more than a 100 sign ups already!
Folks, please enter only one category, and not more when you enter your name in the list.
Please read the post carefully.
